2027 - Prophecy of the Popes

[edit]

Would the prophecy of the popes count in this section (Malachy's prophecy)? [1]Alimsts (talk) 17:09, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think it could fit if worded well: I read the wikipedia article on Saint Malachy and another on the Prophecy of the Popes, and it sounds like the date, even the count of the 'last pope', is pretty wishy-washy. I guess it would depend on getting a good citation of a commonly held interpretation. Rjmail (talk) 17:44, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it could fit well at present. The prophecy of the popes 'prediction' was deleted from this list a long time ago on the grounds it isn't a clear predicted date and the range of dates could span decades even after we reach the final supposed number of popes. (See here). I agreed with the removal. You definitely can't add it as is right now. You'd need a good citation that predicts a clear date/narrow date range as consistent with the rest of the predictions in the article. If such a source was found, it would likely become an 'attributed' prediction to that source, as Saint Malachy definitely didn't predict a date (assuming he made this prediction at all).

The list of the Popes is: The Popes in ordinary time until Pope Benedict XVI.
Pope Francis I was elected 2013, as part of the 5th (of 10) Warnings from God about the Apocalypse to come. Francis I was the proxy for Pope Peter II, who will be born about February 2029, the man-child in Revelations. He is elected Pope: 2033 and fulfills The Quran's Surah An-Nasr as the 12th Imam aged 5: 5th March 2034.
As Pope Peter established Judeo-Christianity, Pope Peter II will establish Islamic-Christianity.
This Pope is the one who guides the Roman Catholic Church to its destruction, with the Vatican, the Temple to our Lord Christ, partially destroyed 4th November 2029; the opening of the 6th Seal. The Roman Catholic Church is then without a Pope for 1260 Days: 4th November 2029 is day 1. Pope Peter II is made Pope for the Easter Vigil Mass.
The associated earthquake is due to the statue Christ the Redeemer being pulled off St. Peter's Basilica, leaving a space for the Abomination unto Desolation to replace it. The Abomination of Desolation is a statue of the anti-Christ (he is the Beast of the Beast of the Sea, and the Beast of the Land).
The 6th Warning: 2016 was the election of President Trump: to warn about the anti-Christ's benevolent Reign: Trump pronounced 30,000 lies, averaging 21 lies a day.
The 9th Warning: 2025 was the election of President Trump: to warn about the Beast of the Land (MAGA) and the Reign of Terror. ... look-up Trump Reign of Terror on DuckDuckGo, as Google is in Trump's pocket. Get ready: Trump has only just started: but has already presented himself as a King (the anti-Christ kills the Great Monarch/the Imam Mahdi in March 2038, and declares himself as King of the World), and Trump has put up a photograph of himself as Pope (the anti-Christ kills Pope Peter II/the 12th Imam October 2041), and declares himself as the Pope, and resurrected Messiah, putting the Abomination unto Desolation on top of St. Peter's Basilica while the Jewish 3rd Temple is still being built, started 2038, finished March 2045 when the Sin of Desolation, the Parah Adumah (Numbers Chapter 19) is performed, and then the Pasch: causing the consequential Wrath of God, starting with the 3 Days of Darkness.

No reliable sources provided = no consideration of adding anything to the article. Damien Linnane (talk) 23:45, 13 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The reference to 'Aggai' does not exist

[edit]

The article currently says this about 1997 and Bishop Aggai:

"The 1st-century bishop of Edessa predicted this date to be the birth date of the Antichrist and the end of the universe."

The reference is to a book by Stephen J Gould, Questioning the Millennium on page 72. The book contains no such reference to Bishop Aggai on that page, nor does it contain any reference to Bishop Aggai anywhere in the book. I have only been able to check the revised edition, so unless it was in the first edition, this never existed, and if it were in the first edition, then the author removed it.

I can't find any reference to Bishop Aggai making any such prediction anywhere, in any historical or contemporary source. This appears to be completely made up. DrJNCU (talk) 20:07, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It would be useful if someone could check the first edition, and if it's in there, to add a note that Gould claimed it in the first edition, but removed it in the second. Otherwise, I agree this entry should be deleted. Rjmail (talk) 21:24, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The information was added by an IP back in 2017 with no explanation: [2]. The IP made no other edits to the article, though the article was receiving a lot of non-constructive edits from IPs in general around the period. It may have been subtle vandalism. Accordingly, I'm removing it now. Damien Linnane (talk) 00:11, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sept. 23/24 2025 prediction

[edit]

There's another rapture prediction that is/was in the media, promoted by many influencers. Now with the hashtag #RaptureTok.

Kevinhevans (talk) 16:06, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, interesting. The criteria for modern predictions thus far has been both a reliable source and either a notable claimant (as a rule of thumb notability is shown by either the individual or organisation they represent meeting WP:GNG by having their own article) or an article about the prediction/issue (For example, Year 2000 problem). This prevents the list being bloated with the many, many social media claims that occasionally get a tad of media coverage in a source that just scrapes through WP:RS. There are indeed several high-quality sources for this claim though, so I'm more open to it remaining included in the list. Happy to hear other opinions. Damien Linnane (talk) 23:29, 24 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I think the sources are probably there, here's a CNN:[3] Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 12:39, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I see it got a mention at Rapture. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:50, 27 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Secular apocalypses

[edit]

I've thought of adding more secular apocalyptic events on this article. For example, Geert Vanden Bossche has made 7 guesses at when a virulent COVID variant wipes out vaccinated populations, but most of the articles are on his website, and through YouTube and Rumble videos. Unless this is mainly for academic sources. Patty J H (talk) 15:50, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

While academic is not strictly necessary, see thread above, Wp:SPS will not fly. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 16:13, 7 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Error

[edit]

2000 is 20th century not 21st ~2025-31304-46 (talk) 20:53, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You're right. Fixed. Damien Linnane (talk) 22:12, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Nice catch! Rjmail (talk) 22:39, 5 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
